<PRE>No Graphical root sounds like a FEATURE rather than a bug. Graphical
Root is call MS Windows and does to the security of your system what
Microlimp does to Windoze.
Be thankful for unlooked-for favors and pray the powers that be that no
one comes along and re-enables MSWindows mode.
Further you might want to put
# Single user mode
~~:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin
in your /etc/inittab to assure that no-one can inadvertently put you
back in Windoze mode...
Also might want to put root in your
/etc/ssh/denyusers
Just a thought. It's my feeling that if we continue compromising
security to become more friendly, why don't we just stick with MS and
avoid all of the hooplah???
